I think this recipe is a good basic recipe that is versatile to how you want your mashies to turn out. Meaning you could omit the garlic, or add other herbs and spices to your liking, use a different kind of potato, add cream cheese if you want...etc. Just keep the liquid measurements for cooking the same and you really can't go wrong.

I was a little apprehensive about trying this cake. I usually don't favor Tres Leches cake, as it is usually to wet for my taste. This recipe sounded promising and I found that it was perfectly moist, with the right amount of sweetness. The flavor of the cake is on the delicate side so if you are looking for an intense pina colada flavor, or something that is very sweet this cake isn't it. Otherwise enjoy!
